"Hired Andrew to help me with termite damaged roof trusses. He quickly responded to my initial inquiry and visited the site within a couple days. We discussed the repairs while on site so I could begin. Andrew provided the written specs and sketches within a few days following the inspection. He answered any questions I had along the way and was very helpful throughout the entire process. The price was very reasonable for the peace of mind that I now have. Highly recommend."

"Overall, it was a great experience working with JCI. They knew we were in an insurance battle and prior to even receiving payment. They ordered the necessary supplies and got us onto the schedule. They were very patient and understanding. The work itself was conducted quickly, as cleanly as possible, with all the dust, and Better than even expected. New ceilings are up and painted and there is less and damage noticeable. Onto the next project! Thank you, JCI."

"I hired Global Construction for multiple jobs and they ve been the best across the board; engineering plans, assisting with permitting, great workmanship and best of all, honest and trustworthy. Global Construction worked in my home many days unsupervised and I trust them wholeheartedly. Haytham, Oscar and the crew made us feel like family and that s priceless."

"WCC did a fantastic job, from assessing our landscape curbing needs, to giving us a fair quote, they provided a flawless installation -- they were also always prompt and finished the job on time as promised! We couldn't be more happy with every part of the experience! It was truly a pleasure to have such professionalism and treatment, especially in a world that seems to lack this kind of customer-oriented care all too often. We HIGHLY recommend West Coast Curbing!!!"

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

The National Association of Home Builders requires repair of any foundation crack of more than one quarter of an inch, although local regulations may vary. In general, any visible crack that is growing in size, allowing water through, or that you have just noticed, is a good reason to call a structural engineer. Cracks can be a sign of a sinking foundation, so an inspection is a good idea for your peace of mind.

The process of hiring a structural engineer starts by finding reliable professionals in your area and comparing quotes from at least three of them. From there, you can narrow down your selection by asking some leading questions:

  • Do you have experience working in my specific area?

  • Do you have professional indemnity insurance?

  • What will your structural report cover?

  • Do you charge a flat fee for a structural report or by the hour?

  • How long have you been in business?

  • Do you have a list of customer references?

Structural engineers draw structural plans, which include detailed drawings of the structural components of a home only. Complete house plans will require additional work from an architect or draftsperson, whose drawings will take the structural drawings into account. They’ll also include more details about the finishing materials and layout of a home, including everything from roofing and flooring materials to the position of furniture, light fixtures, switches, and plumbing fixtures.

No, it’s not legal for unlicensed individuals to conduct structural calculations for buildings or building repairs. Not only do licensing requirements prevent DIYers from tackling this project, but mistakes can also be extremely dangerous and put your property and anyone inside or near it at risk of severe injury or even death. You should always hire a licensed and certified local structural engineer to make structural calculations.

First, most contractors will have a structural engineer create a report and plan for your project to ensure it’s safe to cut into the load-bearing wall. The contractor will then excavate around the wall, if necessary, measure the opening—allowing for additional space to fit and level the door, and then cut the doorway out. They will likely install a steel lintel as a header over the door for support. Once the doorway is cut out, they’ll demolish the concrete using sledge hammers and masonry chisels, clean up the surrounding concrete, and seal around the door with masonry mortar.
